Family and Friends,
This
week has been very good! Things are going pretty well with all of our
investigators. Corona is treating us well, and things are finally
starting to cool off a little bit. That definitely makes biking up these
Corona hills a little bit better. It is hard for me to believe that I
have already been in the Circle City Ward for 9 weeks.
Our
Investigators, We met with Kassie a couple times this week with a
priest in our ward, things are still moving along very well with her
even though she didn't come to church this week. She told us yesterday
that she is set on getting baptized on Sunday no matter what. The only
thing that could possibly hold her up is some of her friends. All should
work out for her and she should be baptized on Sunday. Then there's the
Villa kids... They are a different story. Out of the 5 kids we are
working with, only 2 of them are really being supported by their parents
in getting baptized, so there are some struggles there. Fortunately
Albert Sr. (Grandpa) is helping us work with the parents, so hopefully
everything works out with them.
We
also got to go to the Redlands Temple this past week. It is always
awesome to go to the Temple and feel of the spirit that is there. I
definitely received some much needed guidance. It truly is a blessing to
be able to attend the Temple
This
week will be a fun week, among many other things Elder David F. Evans
of the Seventy, and Director of the Missionary Department, is touring
the mission on Tuesday and Wednesday. My Zone will be attending a
Conference on Wednesday at the mission office in Riverside. I am really
looking forward to it. It's always really cool when General Authorities
tour the mission, so I am excited for that.
Now,
as the subject of this e-mail says, The Challenge. I have a Challenge
for each and every one of you who read this. Regardless of where you
currently are in the Book of Mormon, I want to challenge you to either
as a family or individually to Read the Book of Mormon from Cover to
Cover between now and Christmas. Each of you get a new copy of the Book
of Mormon and in the Front cover write some questions that you have that
you want Heavenly Father to answer, and as you read think about the
questions that you have, and I promise that Heavenly Father will answer
them. I will do this too, and I want to hear from you guys on how your
reading is going, Especially my family. I hope each of you takes this
challenge, I know that whatever questions that you have that Heavenly
Father will answer them.
I Love you guys,
Elder Bangerter
If anyone reading this wants a copy of the Book of Mormon, please let me know and I'll get you one.
Sharon
